For his transported the field in Northern California around 3,500 miles, transforming it into the fields of Puerto Rico. Even before he launched into 鈥淭it铆 Me Pregunt贸,鈥� the Puerto Rican superstar had suffused the set with symbols of the island 鈥� and a sense of wider Pan-Americanism.
Here’s a breakdown of the Easter eggs hidden in plain view during the 13-minute set.
Sugarcane fields
The show opened in a sugarcane field, an homage to Puerto Rico’s main cash crop at the end of the 19th century. While the island transitioned from an agricultural society in the 1950s as tax incentives were introduced to encourage manufacturing, pava-sporting j铆baros (farmers) are still active 鈥� and iconic.
Dressed in all white
commonly wear all white, as Bad Bunny did throughout his appearance. White, after all, helps beat the Caribbean heat. But there’s also a common saying in Latin America: 鈥淓sta vestido de punta en blanco鈥� 鈥� meaning 鈥渄ressed in all white鈥� but in a more figurative sense, 鈥渨ell dressed.鈥�
The coconut stand
Touting its 鈥渃oco frio鈥� wares, the stall evokes the Caribbean roadside stands selling cold, refreshing coconut water in the fruit itself 鈥� none of that boxed stuff you’d find at the grocery store. Just add a straw. (But don’t get it on your all-white clothes. It’ll stain.) The coconut iconography proliferated the show, including the drawings of coconut footballs in the introduction.
Other roadside stops in the show: a makeshift nail salon; a cash-only gold and silver stall; and a taco stand. Everyone, after all, loves tacos.
Piraguas and Pan-Americanism
Bad Bunny made a quick stop a type of shaved ice. Each syrup bottle featured a different Latin American flag 鈥� a recurring theme in a show that took pains to acknowledge the interplay and commonalities among countries in the Americas. Take the boxers that followed soon after, and who respectively wore the flags of Puerto Rico and Mexico on their shorts. Puerto Rico and Mexico have a heated rivalry in boxing that goes back decades, and both have boasted multiple world champions.
Dancing outside the casita were a range of celebrities with ties to different countries in the Americas: singers Cardi B (Dominican Republic), Karol G (Colombia) and Young Miko (Puerto Rico), actors Jessica Alba (Mexico) and Pedro Pascal (Chile) and baseball player Ronald Acu帽a Jr. (Venezuela). Influencer Alix Earle and Bad Bunny’s business partner Dave Grutman were also there.
And we can’t forget the music itself: The sequence included a projection of cartoon that’s become synonymous with Bad Bunny and Puerto Rico, as well as an appearance from Nicaraguan conductor Giancarlo Guerrero.
Lady Gaga’s flor de maga
One of the most talked-about segments of the show was where the vows were immediately followed by a surprise performance from Lady Gaga. Clad in a light blue dress, Gaga sported a large pinkish-red flower: the flor de maga, the national flower of Puerto Rico.
A less official symbol of Puerto Rico? The small child asleep on the chairs on the outskirts of the wedding. It’s a common sight at Latin American gatherings, as kids fall asleep on the makeshift beds while their parents dance the night away.
罢辞帽颈迟补
After the wedding, it was time to party. Serving up a shot was 罢辞帽颈迟补, the owner of Brooklyn鈥檚 Caribbean Social Club 鈥� one of the last Puerto Rican social clubs in New York. She in his song 鈥淣uevaYol.鈥� On the siding, made up to look like a liquor or beer brand was the word 鈥淐onejo鈥� 鈥� fitting for El Conejo Malo (quite literally, 鈥淏ad Bunny.鈥�)
Ricky Martin’s plastic chairs
No stranger to anthemizing a (鈥淟a Copa de la Vida,鈥� anyone?), Ricky Martin 鈥� 鈥� sang Bad Bunny’s 鈥淟o Que Le Pas贸 a Hawaii鈥� sitting on a white, plastic chair in front of a plantain tree. Not only are the chairs a common sight at gatherings, but the setting also evokes the cover of Bad Bunny’s 鈥淒eb铆 Tirar M谩s Fotos.鈥� That album just one of which cameoed right before Martin’s performance.
The electrical poles
Bad Bunny and several j铆baros scaled sparking power poles for a performance of 鈥淓l Apag贸n鈥� (鈥淭he Blackout鈥�). The tableau referenced as well as the chronic power outages
The light blue Puerto Rican flag
The Puerto Rican flag waved during the performance featured a lighter shade of blue than the official flag 鈥� and it’s no printing accident. It’s the original Puerto Rican flag, a symbol When the U.S. took over the island, the blue was darkened to mirror the U.S. flag.
鈥楪od bless America鈥�
The entire performance was a gold mine for any experts in vexillology 鈥� the study of flags. Toward the end of his performance, Bad Bunny proclaimed, 鈥淕od bless America,鈥� before reciting the countries that comprise North and South America as the representative flags streamed behind him. It was a final nod to Pan-Americanism and the idea that 鈥淎merica鈥� encompasses far more than the United States.
